Improving Your School Shooter Response in Florence
When an active threat alert is sent, school personnel receive the alert with an alarm to assure they receive the critical information. The app empowers selected personnel to issue an active shooter alert instantly upon recognizing a threat, greatly enhancing overall response time. Its intuitive, minimalistic design supports users in high-stress situations when their abilities may be compromised. The notification arrives and identifies the location of the threat on your campus allowing immediate situational awareness for all school personnel. This alert enables swift decision making based on where the intruder is located and what is the safest course of action for Florence staff and students. Ongoing internal communication is also enabled in the app to update everyone on movement of the intruder, missing students or where a class may be secured. Providing the location of the attacker without using location services is unique to the Locknow Safety App; we customize the app to the locations at your facility.
